Life sometimes takes us on an exciting rollercoaster ride, that too without any admission fee. And in such a scenario, it demands a great deal of perseverance and resilience from us. As we reflect on our experiences, we come to realise that they have played a significant role in shaping the story of our lives.

This could not be more interesting than the adventures a science student experiences. From observing ripples in the water collected in the potholes on the street to recalling the process of diffusion after spraying a fragrance. From carefully observing the nutrient chart behind every product to remembering why that drop seeping through the balcony grills seems to be spherical.

Everything has a reason and is a phenomenon, according to science, and a true science student can never find it hard to know the reason behind the distortion of signals on your television screens.

Has the sight of dew on leaves ever sparked your curiosity about science? Or has a knee-jerk reaction ever made you wonder about the science behind it? Science is all around us, waiting to be explored and understood.

A science student starts with excitement, feeling a rush of energy and motivation. What was once just a simple fever becoming something they now known as pyrexia. As their knowledge grows, they transition into a ‘pre-medical student’, driven by the desire to become a doctor. With that goal in mind, they work tirelessly day and night, putting in endless effort to finally achieve their dream of becoming a medical student.

The universe is expanding with all of its diverse mysteries that leave us in awe and wonder, becoming the basis for new research and fuelling the curiosity in a science student’s inquisitive mind. From the vastness of galaxies to the microscopic world of cells, each discovery opens the door to countless questions. These mysteries not only shape the direction of their studies, but also inspire them to seek answers and contribute to the ever-growing body of scientific knowledge.

Kudos to all the groundbreaking science discoveries and to my fellow science enthusiasts, who understand the underlying principles of our daily experiences. We know that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, just like Newton’s third law of motion explains. This principle helps us grasp why reactions from our siblings or others might seem so intense. It’s a reminder of how fundamental scientific laws can illuminate the simplest aspects of our lives, making us appreciate the depth of science in our everyday interactions.
